On September 16, 2022, SolBridge was delighted to host a Customer Testing and Networking event for 13 start-ups in various fields, including Healthcare, Web 3, and Education, under the Shinhan Squarebridge Daejeon Ignition Program by 500 Global Korea.

The start-ups are looking to establish their entrepreneurial ventures in Daejeon and are currently participating in a 16-week program to support rising South Korean talents aspiring to solve global challenges with their tech solutions. This initiative is led by Shinhan Financial Group and 500 Global Korea, a venture capital company that invests in the early stages of fast-growing technology startups, focusing on markets where technology, innovation, and capital can generate long-term value and drive economic growth.

This event allowed the start-ups to test their prototypes with potential customers, investors, and accelerators and receive feedback valuable in transforming their business ideas into functional businesses. Additionally, SolBridge students aspiring to start their entrepreneurial journey had the opportunity to network and learn and receive inspiration from the founders.
